Ok, so I think we should have this out

zella ...which thread??

I remember having a disagreement with you that stayed very civil despite going back and forth a bit. I quite enjoy an occasional spirited exchange.

christine58 you have somehow mucked up the quoting function. Can you please fix up your quote a few posts up so it doesn't look like I was accusing Gar of criticising me. Thanks.

Shut up wench 

We don't need misquotes on top of board burps and hot feelings!

Ummmmmm.........

I hate the quote feature here...will do~~

Yes but, scientist now believe that what you see as ‘blue’ might not be what I see as ‘blue’ . We consistently see the same thing, and as taught will label it ‘blue’ but what you see and what I see and what another person sees might not be the same thing. While many peoples perception of what ‘blue’ is will be similar, some people’s perception of what blue is is very different. Which has nothing to do with why the sky is blue, it has to do with each persons eyes and brains see when the see what we label as ‘blue’ is most likely different.

So what you see and label as blue may just also be akin to an opinion.

I have no idea what the Tossed salad analogy is?? maybe she didn't either? since we both live in MN? it's not used here. I'm surprised you knew about it lucky?! off to look it up. I missed that thread. probably because it was political?

I’m siding with NASA and their scientific explanation on why the sky is blue most of the time.  

And it is a fact that some people suffer from various forms of color blindness. But because these folks can’t see the sky as blue doesn’t mean that it isn’t blue most of the time as noted by NASA.  

If you want to go with the sky is blue, most of the time,  as an opinion instead of a fact, that’s your choice.

By the way.  I didn’t deliberately put NASA’s explanation on why the sky is blue in blue or underline it.  I put the link in before putting the explanation in and for some reason anything I type or paste after that is blue and underlined and I didn’t feel like messing with it this morning.

Your just not listening to me nor reading the article

I give up

Will you two quit derailing this sex thread with scientific knowledge and facts?! rude! LOL

I don't think there is any debate over whether the sky is blue or not. The point is that the colour that one person sees as blue may be what other people see as green, grey, violet, or pink, but we're all calling it blue because we are taught that the colour of the sky is called blue.

I remember having this conversation with my Mum when I was a little girl. She told me that nobody really knows, because nobody can tell what anyone else sees. But as we are all human and all have broadly similar anatomy, so it is likely that colours are not hugely dissimilar. She was a nurse before she married, so I thought she was probably right. 40-odd years on, and technology is obviously now advanced enough to say otherwise. I find all that completely fascinating.
